Trina Solar

Canadian Solar has suspended its plans to list shares in Shanghai, while polysilicon supplier GCL Tech has revealed plans to move from the Hong Kong Stock Exchange to either the Shanghai or Shenzhen stock exchange. Trina and Longi have both reported solid financial results for the first nine months of the year.

Trina Solar has unveiled its Vertex N solar panels for commercial, industrial and utility-scale projects, and the Vertex S+ modules for residential installations.

Trina Solar has announced plans to expand production in northwestern China, while inverter manufacturer Sofar Solar is now moving forward with an initial public offering.

Trina Storage’s new 2.1 MWh DC All-New Elementa solution is a modular LFP battery cabinet with a plug-in concept to connect multiple units. The company is ramping up battery manufacturing capacity to strengthen vertical integration, given supply chain risks throughout the world.

Trina Solar, the pioneer of 210mm large format high power PV modules, speaks to pv magazine about its strategy for their deployment. Dr. Zhang Yingbin, Trina Solar’s head of product strategy and marketing, discusses the business solutions Trina provided for its new products, while Todd Li, President of Trina Solar Asia Pacific, shares his views on the PV markets in the Asia-Pacific region.

Trina Solar has found that its Vertex modules, based on the 210mm wafer, achieve an energy yield up to 1.6% higher than rival products based on the smaller 182mm wafer format. The company conducted outdoor testing at two separate sites with varying climates, finding that products based on the larger format have a particular advantage in low-irradiance environments.

PV manufacturing giant Trina Solar says it has agreed with other industry players on a set of standard dimensions and other technical specifications for PV modules utilizing 210mm wafers – the largest currently available on the market. The manufacturer says it expects the China Photovoltaic Industry Association to formally release the standard before the end of October.

The cell has achieved a power conversion efficiency of 23.5%. The result was confirmed by China’s National Center of Supervision and Inspection on Solar Photovoltaic Product Quality (CPVT).

The latest product in the Vertex series from the Chinese manufacturer has an efficiency of 21.2%. It was designed for commercial rooftop projects.

The panels will be used for the first 100 MW phase of a 1 GW solar park under construction in in Dachaidan, Qinghai, western China.
